So, as part of their bailout, the Greek government was told it needed to privatize a lot of its government owned stuff. Everything from banks to the national lottery had to go on the auction block, to the highest bidder, as part of the IMF's requirements for the loans.

The fate of those with a default Excellent rating is truly harsh. Having reached the pinnacles of karma they will now never again know the sweet satisfaction of a rate up.

You could just rate up everything I post. Just in case I rated you up.

I'm livid that Samira got a perfunctory and superfluous rate-up for piggy-backing on my joke, while I got bupkis.

Not that I'm unused to going unappreciated for my contributions. I mean, I'm worth at least 2.6 someproteinguys. Where'd he get his Guruship, eh? Probably some game-specific forum, I bet, where they give 'em out like they're nothing.

Did you really? ****... I don't think I remember anything from before the BDT anymore.

Yeah found it funny/ironic people complained about the down-rates in there. By the time I moved to the druid forum I was already one of those low posts count guru things.

I don't think I ever downvoted people much in there, still, good times eh?

Edit: Holy crap, I just noticed that you have 6k posts Protein. How the bloody **** did you do that? I thought you had like, 2k or something.

Some days I truly yearn to be an Excellent Guru, but perhaps being a Good Guru is the best of both worlds.

$10 or I karma camp your green arrow until you're default excellent.

One of us, one of us...

That's how I remember it. You rarely downrated people, more likely just called them #$%^ing idiots or some variety thereof (I don't remember you being nearly as bad as Theo though). People then got grumpy and lashed out, which led to karma bombing.

I had spam once. One of the vilest things ever to get inside my mouth.

It was used in mac and cheese of sorts. And I'm afraid there's a shortage of Hawaiians here, I think it may be the weather that scares them off.

What comes after guru anyway? You know since we have more than 4 stars now, why not just break down another barrier?

Admin usually. Thats a rare spawn though.

Not sure I could take that step. Last time I started working for Zam was traumatic enough. The secret passwords. The mad cackling; creepy allusions to fresh meat. Then of course blacking out and waking up on the sofa 2 hours later somehow holding a booklet with 'ZAM' written on it in big black letters.

Yeah, sorry about that. The cackling thing is for the evil laugh of the year contest. Also, we sold your kidneys while you were blacked out. It's ok though, we replaced them with an aquarium filter. Just remember to change the carbon pouches.
